I’m a little tired and knee is a little sore from all my outdoor activities today. Actually feels pretty good to get something accomplished occasionally. Peeked in on the worms and they all appear to be doing well. I don’t think they will need another feeding before the end of the week, and maybe not even then. The ones that… Read more »
Lol, we had a sit-in as well at Spring Woods High School, me as well against hair policies, it lasted till the jocks came in and started kicking everyone’s azz,s. Then it was over. We were on the news too, my mom was so proud. /sarc
Memory is a little fuzzy, but I think when I pulled up at the school, saw all those folks out front and cops showing up, it seemed to be the perfect day to skip school.
More than 50 years after hundreds of us had a sit-in against haircut policies at Westchester High School, there is a bill sitting on the Governor’s desk outlawing such nonsensical rules.
I assume he is going to sign it.
I assume it covers white kids, too.

Billy likes to lounge in the grass or other ground foliage, after he has eaten. In nice weather, I sometimes see him apparently taking a nap in the foliage.
Shower passed on by, so I went back out and finished up the west side, wet grass and all. Lawn does not look like a golf green, but it looks a lot better than it did. Still thundering around, but no serious weather threatening anywhere nearby. I took some items, floor rug, mop head, etc. out to dry this morning,… Read more »
#36 Tedtam – the first load (steaks of varying thickness, and frozen meatballs) came out dry as a bone… feel like styrofoam, just like Red Rose says they are supposed to… Next load was pre-sliced breakfast ham half – likely slightly under 1/4″ thick??? They bear a strong resembles to the tongues of antique shoes LOL… These boneless sirloin steaks… Read more »
Just loaded “Nat” with reduced for quick sale boneless sirloin steaks, boneless pork loin chops, and Sam’s Club frozen meatballs… It’s currently in the “freeze” cycle – which seems to take an inordinate amount of time, considering everything I put in (just like the last load) was already frozen… but I did some meatballs in one of my first loads,… Read more »
Peter Halligan tends to board the reader with relevant data, but he could use an editor for clarity. He writes at substack.com: In round numbers – cumulative global deaths with C19 present using the “not fit for purpose” RT-PCR test were 2 million in calendar year 2020, 5.5 million in 2021 (+3.5 million) and 6.7 million in 2022 (+1.2 million… Read more »
Got 3/4 of the yard mowed, all but the west side. It’s narrow but it’s long. Had to take a break from the gnats, skeeters, ants, humidity, and such. Lawn was way overgrown, so mowing is a slow process to not choke down the mower. I went ahead and took down the bluebonnets and everything else while I was at… Read more »
What about Billy? Or would he rather have a jungle back there to work with?

Morning, gang. The mosquitoes are really bad at Chez Harp, from these sudden fierce rain storms we’ve had lately. And looks like more on the way this week. I need a couple of dry days so I could mow the grass. Back yard is worst, but no one except me sees that.
Now that I think about it, I do favor diversity. I want a country where our leadership is diverse and comes from the world of average Americans, where Ivy League degrees are rare, and where people rise in organizations based on their talent, not based on their connections or their exclusive degrees. H/T: Buck Throckmorton/ACE. I agree wholeheartedly. From what… Read more »
Got outside to clean up some buckets with the water hose. The skeeters are out in force this morning. We don’t usually get many skeeters out here because of the arid climate, but when it does get wet, they are coming out of hiding where they have been laying in wait.
Cabbage soup procedure: Boil a cored, big red cabbage. Peel off outer layers for cabbage rolls (this is a different dish) Let the liquid cool a bit, fish out the remaining cabbage and cut in 1 in squares or so. in a goodly sized black iron skillet, brown and heavily season a pound of 80-20 hamburger. remove meat but leave… Read more »
From the C&C comments: I worked as a covid ICU nurse and instead of patients getting turned and having their mouths cleaned every 2hrs like we usually do with intubated patients to help prevent infections. Nurses were told to leave them alone to help prevent the nurses from getting covid. A lot of nurses didn’t want to grown up and… Read more »
Mr. C also notes that the woke “Cleopatra” is tanking at the box office. I’ve heard the same about the woke new “Little Mermaid” release.

Good news: Jamie Foxx’s family reports he is out of the hospital and playing pickle ball, though he hasn’t made any tweets or whatever himself. We still don’t know what happened, but I’m glad he’s recovering.

Regarding the bankruptcy and sale of Vice assets: The lawyerly Mr. Childers does a brief description of how companies use bankruptcy to “wash clean” their debts.

Of course,… Read more »
Next up, Mr. C. tackles the new CEO of Twitter controversy. Turns out, she also did some stuff for Trump. So, the two camps have polarized: either she’s a left-wing nutbat or a right-wing nutbat. So it looks like Elon Musk has done it again, embarrassing both over-reactive sides of the political spectrum. Last week, either Elon or Yaccarino could… Read more »

Yeah, I pray for him and his family daily. I may have bruised Mary a bit with the rosary I sent up on Sunday.
The family seems remarkably stable emotionally about the situation. I guess they’ve had time to absorb it and are just enjoying what time they still have.
My Cabbage Soup: I use my Instapot to prepare meat, usually chicken legs or thighs or whatever is on sale, about 25 minutes pressurized and let it depressurize – so about an hour there. Debone and save meat in the broth created. Since you are going to use the broth, you might want to add a little extra water when… Read more »
The canning went well last night, but I realize I need more pint size jars. I could’ve canned in quarts, but I prefer the pints.

Morning gang. Bright sunshine this morning but nice temperatures, so I may be forced to get out and mow today. Got up a little late, but TOK is closed today, so no rush to get down there. All this talk of fine cooking, and all I did was grind up rotten fruits and veges for worm food. Still made a… Read more »
Nite all.
Unless daddy bought it for them. And his daddy certainly couldn’t.
Not too many 19 year olds in my neighborhood who could afford a car like that.
Nah. That was my neighbor, the pot dealer around the corner.
SS 396. Black inside and out. Very cool.

Yeah well we thought it was all rich kids driving hot rod Camaros and Chevelles on that side of the track.

I haven’t heard of sand tarts in I don’t how long. Forever.
And they had a saltwater taffy display at HEB.
What is this? The 50’s?
John Durham finally releases his report.
Surprised it didn’t come out on a Friday afternoon.
Early reports indicate the report is somewhat flaccid.
Imagine that.

Texpat –
The whole sordid saga turns my stomach. So much suffering, now and in the future. So much money squandered. So many criminals succeeding.
How did your first load come out, Bsue?

Yeah, my gardening has been halted, either by rain or skeeters. I stepped outside this morning and it was like filings to a magnet.
Been dreading this season.
